borrowlenses.com contest: win a free one-week rental!

November 20, 2009 – 3:21 pm

It’s that time again folks. Time for another fun contest! Yes, you know you want to rent that fancy new tilt-shift, or that macro with IS. C’mon now, surely there is one fantasy lens you must get your hands on. Now’s your chance!

logoOur awesome friends over at Borrowlenses.com have been kind enough to make available a free week long lens rental (excluding super telephoto lenses) to be given away here on the Cowbelly blog.

If you enter you can stand to win a free one week rental of any lens. So my photo snap happy friends, read the post below to figure out how to sign yourself up. You have nothing to lose and may just win a rental of that sweet tilt-shift lens you have been coveting.

The contest ends DECEMBER 1st, 2009 at Midnight. But get your comments in now! I want to see what you guys want to rent. :-)

In order to be eligible you need to:

  • Contest open to only those in the US. Lens rentals cannot be shipped to other countries.
  • Be located in the United States.
  • The lucky winner will place the order online at BorrowLenses.com and they request a credit card number to cover the risk of a no-return. They will not charge your credit card. BorrowLenses.com is a reputable business but if you don’t feel comfortable with this condition, please don’t enter.
  • Be able to place an order online with a credit card. No charges will be made, this is merely a technicality. (Don’t fret over this- I read the terms and it’s no biggie at all. It’s just their way of protecting themselves should the contest winner run off with their fancy new Canon telephoto.)
  • The offer excludes super telephoto lenses and pro camera bodies.

HOW TO ENTER

  1. Check out Borrowlenses.com to find something you’d be interested to rent. Let me know what lens you hope to rent. I won’t hold you to this if you win. I’m just curious. I know the lens I’d like to rent. Anyone want to guess as to what it is?
    Note: Available lenses are for Nikon and Canon cameras. Not a Nikon or Canon user? Consider their lighting and tripod equipment.
  2. Add a comment to this post with the item you’d be most interested to rent. Please leave your email address if your name does not link back to a website.
    Note: Your blog comment is worth one entry to the contest.

Deadline: Tuesday December 1st, 2009 at Midnight PST

The winner will be randomly chosen and announced here on Wednesday December 2nd.

Thanks for taking part and good luck!

borrowlenses.com contest winner!

April 6, 2009 – 11:44 am

I am thrilled to announce the winner of our fun lens rental contest sponsored by borrowlenses.com.

The winner is……

drumroll please…..

STEPHEN BOBB, of Fidojournalism!

Stephen is a terrifically talented dog photographer in the Washington DC area, and you can bet that whatever shots come from whatever lens he rents will be outstanding. Hopefully he’ll send me a link so I can share them here!

I loved doing this contest so much that there will be more! We are a planning another borrowlenses contest this fall, and other companies will be coming soon.

I will even be giving away Cowbelly products to the winners of some fun challenges.

Keep the blog bookmarked, or better yet, subscribe via RSS so you won’t miss anything.

It’s gorgeously sunny in Seattle and I am taking the rest of the day off, woohoo!! :-)
